Instant noodles are dried or precooked noodles fused with oil, and often sold with a packet of flavoring. Dried noodles are usually eaten after being cooked or soaked in boiling water for 2 to 5 minutes, while precooked noodles can be reheated, or eaten straight from the packet. Instant noodles were first marketed by Momofuku Ando, a Taiwanese man who was born in southwestern Taiwan when the island was under Japanese colonial rule, in Japan on August 25, 1958 under the brand name Chikin Ramen. Another milestone was reached in 1971 when Nissin introduced the Cup Noodles, instant noodles in a water proof polystyrene cup to which boiling water could be added to cook the noodles. Further innovations included adding dried vegetables to the cup, creating a complete instant soup dish. Instant noodles are often criticized as being unhealthy or junk food.
